Life
Prabhachandra was a Digambara monk who flourished in 11th century CE.[1][2][3] He denied the possibility of any genuine intensity of action, whether good or bad, on the part of women.[1]
According to him, Kumarapala converted to Jainism and started worshipping Ajitanatha after conquering Ajmer.[4]
